Description
This Project below is created to allow you easily turn any one of your existing Virtual Instruments into a seamless Desktop Widget.
The auther has tried to make this code as modular as possible. All you'll need to do to convert your Virtual Instruments to desktop widgets is copy and paste the 'Measurement Widget' SubVI into a concurrent loop to your code, whilst following the instructions outlined in the given example 'Top VI.vi'.

This shows just how easy an existing Virtual Instrument (The Top Loop) can be turned into a full desktop widget! The attached project comes in LabVIEW version 8.6, but I can downconvert it if anyone asks.
I hope you guys have fun with this one! Any feedback you have is really appreciated, keep in mind that this is a work in progress!

No, I appreciate it. It was good fun to try and get this working through the 2D Picture Control, but I didn't even think of using DLLs for the same effect. Very cool.
